Poll: Should You Have To Pass A Test To Vote?

No surprise the leftists overwhelmingly say no. They know an informed voter is a smart voter. They can brainwash the ignorant.

Plus they want people who are already receiving free stuff to vote for receiving more free stuff.

Of course if they depend on the government they will teach their kids that. Then they will know no better or different.

Yes. A test on who can show proof of identification in the form of drivers license, passport, or free voter registration ID. Should also show proof you filed taxes last year.

You don't have to file taxes, unless you qualify. That is complete BS. But, don't get me started...

No, however, you should be disqualified if:

- You are a convicted felon.
- You are NOT a legal citizen.
- You have not paid taxes for at least 3 of the past 5 years.

Well, the original Constitution excluded lots of people.

Maybe a bunch of rich white slave-owning men didn't exactly write the greatest government known to man.

In addition to a test I would fully support a persons voting power being reduced if you are not a tax paying property owner or not employed. And eliminated all together if you receive welfare.

Dock them a certain percentage on each category.

wow

Maybe a bunch of rich white slave-owning men didn't exactly write the greatest government known to man.

But they allowed amendments, which made it the greatest government known to people.

Well,,,,,,when the constitution was written you had to own property to vote. So you had to be smart or industrious enough to acquire land or a slave.

Then we went and let women vote, JFC has that been a mistake.

Hell, up until 1974 a woman could not get a loan from most banks without a male co-signer. Plus, when they did get approval, they could only get the loan based on 50% of their wages. This is how much the world has changed.

This is where our fathers and grandfathers screwed up, they gave women too much power, and now they tell us what to do. So the next time your wife or girlfriend is bossing you around, just remember at one time we had the beasts under control, and we messed up. Maybe it is not too late to go back, I dunno?

Wowzers.
